I'm A Celebrity's Helen Flanagan arrives back in Manchester... still wearing her favourite bikini top

You're not in the jungle now! I'm A Celebrity's Helen Flanagan arrives back in Manchester... still wearing her favourite bikini top

PUBLISHED: 14:22, 4 December 2012 | UPDATED: 15:07, 4 December 2012

She made up for her lack of Bushtucker Trial skills during her time in the jungle on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here with her array of skimpy bikinis.

So when it came to choosing an outfit for her homecoming journey back to the UK, Helen Flanagan stuck to what she knows in her favourite white triangle top.

Helen, 22, wore the skimpy top underneath a sheer white T-shirt, leaving little to the imagination as she made her way through Manchester Airport.

You're not in the jungle now! Helen Flanagan wore her favourite white bikini top under a sheer T-shirt as she arrived back in Manchester from Australia on Tuesday morning

Clinging on: Helen just couldn't resist wearing the bikini top she filled out so well in the jungle as she arrived back in chilly Manchester

The former Coronation Street actress teamed the top with a pair of tight khaki leggings, which drew attention to her post-jungle weight loss.

And, of course, Helen did her best to look picture perfect for the photo opportunity by slicking on some of her favourite red lipstick, as well as wearing her blonde hair tied up in a top knot.

However, Helen appeared to feel slightly self-conscious when she arrived back in chilly Manchester, hiding behind her I'm A Celebrity campmate Eric Bristow, who flew back from Australia with the soap star.

Why so shy? Helen appeared to be covering up her face at point, putting her face behind her hand and keeping her head down

Despite their frequent spats during their time in the jungle, Eric and Helen appeared to have put their differences behind them, smiling widely as they posed up for photographers at the airport.

Clearly enjoying his post-show fame, Eric was still wearing the Bush hat that the campmates are given during their time in the jungle.

But while she was clearly thrilled to be back home, Helen was quick to tweet her fans that she is missing her footballer beau Scott Sinclair, who is currently away with his team Manchester City.

Time to say goodbye: Helen flew back from Australia alongside former campmate Eric Bristow

No hard feelings: Despite their frequent spats in the jungle, Helen and Eric appeared in good spirits as they bid each other farewell and headed home from the airport

She wrote: 'Home :) wish @Scotty_Sinclair wasn't away :( '

However, Helen later added that she would still be enjoying her solo time following her time without any luxuries in the jungle, writing: 'Ah noooo I don't want to get the jungle bluuues lol xxx warm bath me thinks and writing.'

Helen is now arguably as famous for her lack of jungle skills as her Corrie alter-ego Rosie Webster, after failing time and time again in the trials and causing her campmates to be left hungry.

The pretty actress also bemused viewers with her somewhat erratic behaviour, but told Heat magazine after leaving the jungle that she's 'not bonkers'.

She said: 'I suffer from bipolar and attention deficit disorder, and that can make me a bit impulsive. I’ve got really good GCSEs, though, and I’m a deep thinker.'

David Haye joins remaining I'm A Celeb campmates in joint Cyclone trial

It's... Super David! Haye puts his pants on for once as he joins remaining I'm A Celeb campmates in joint Cyclone trial as they're lashed with water

Thanks to his time in the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! jungle, David Haye has built himself up as quite the favourite.

And now thanks to his latest task in the jungle, the boxer has even dressed up in his own super hero gear.

David, who has frequently bared his derriere for the cameras during many jungle showers, put on some pants for once, as well as a cape as the remaining four were told to take part in 'Celebrity Cyclone'.

The camp's own Superman: David Haye dressed up in pants and a cape along with his I'm a Celebrity pals for a joint Cyclone challenge

With only four celebrities left in camp, Eric Bristow informed the camp that they were all taking part in the Trial.

Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts said: 'This is going to be interesting. No matter what, if it's sticky, gooey, with creepy crawlies, at least we’re all there together.'

Actress Charlie Brooks, meanwhile, told the camp mates that she thought it would be a fun Trial, but none of them were convinced.

Ready for it: David volunteered to go last as they were told the rules of the testing task, which saw water gushing towards them more rapidly

Take that: They were all taking part in 'Celebrity Cyclone' which saw them collecting stars against pouring water

Eric complained before he was voted out: 'We deserve a fun one instead of being in goo all the time.'

He then added: 'Maybe they will give us lunch.'

As they headed to the Trial, Eric commented that it was important for them to win the stars, he said: 'We’ve only got a little bit of rice left, not enough for two people, so we’ve got to well today. Whatever is in front of us we’ve got to do it.'

Keeping hold: Eric Bristow went first and had to keep hold of all four stars before passing them on to place two - held by Charlie Brooks

Cheering him on: The camp mates got behind each other as they worked together to win four meals in total

David, admitted that he was looking forward to the Trial and was confident they would do well, saying: 'I love a Trial, I love a challenge. I’m here to test myself see how much fun I can actually have and so far its been amazing. Hopefully today’s Trial going to be a toughy, but I believe we’re going to get some serious stars.'

The celebrities arrived at the Trial dressed in coloured pants and capes ready to take on Celebrity Cyclone.

The celebrities were told the rules to the Trial by hosts Ant & Dec, who said they had to battle elements as they tried to get the stars onto the markers positioned on the course.

'Like Superman': Charlie gushed over David afterwards as he was faced with the most difficult task when the trial became more difficult

In place: He donned his pants and cape as he successfully kept hold of his star during the challenge

The first person had to take all four stars to the first marker, while the second person had to make their way to the first person, take three stars and move to the second marker on the course. The stars had to be on all four markers to win the meals for camp.

They had ten minutes to complete the Trial and they could decide who went in what order.

David immediately said he would go last, which prompted Charlie to joke: 'I was thinking Eric.'

She then suggested the order should be, Eric, herself, Ashley and then David, which the others agreed.

As the water began to shoot down the course, Eric took the four stars and made his way to the first marker. As he crawled on his hands and knees, the darts champion repeatedly slipped but eventually made it to the marker where his tactic was to lay on the stars.

She's flexible: Pussycat Doll Ashley was seen slipping down the course grabbing hold of her star

Charlie was next up and got a good start, quickly reaching Eric, but was knocked off balance by the balls fired from the cannons.

She took the stars from Eric but quickly lost one and had to head back to the beginning and retrieve it but finally made it to the marker. Next up was Ashley who managed to hold her balance and quickly get to Charlie who was positioned at the second marker.

However, as the water intensified and with balls being fired in her direction she lost her footing and valuable seconds. She finally retrieved the stars from Charlie and successfully made it to her marker.

Holding on for dear life: They were all ecstatic to find out they'd won themselves four complete dinners for that night, which became Eric's last night in the jungle

Holding on: Eric, Charlie and Ashley were all in place, just waiting for David to do his bit

Finally it was the turn of David Haye who decided to sprint to Ashley to collect the final star.

Unbeknown to him a blast of water and balls headed their way, knocking David over and pushing Ashley and Charlie off of their markers. Eric’s technique of hugging his star, clearly worked as he did not move. The three celebrities then raced back to their markers covering them with their stars.

Having successfully completed the Trial and winning four meals, the celebrities embraced in a group hug.

After the Trial, David talked through his technique and said: 'With the amount of water coming down, I thought run as fast as I can and use the momentum but when the big wave came down.'

Of course he did: David was triumphant once more after battling the elements once again

Charlie then joked: 'I saw him out of the corner of my eye he was like superman running up the course.'

The celebrities were told that they completed the Trial in just over six minutes.

Afterwards the jubilant celebrities then headed back to camp after winning four stars.

A content Ashley said: 'That was the most fun thing I have done, maybe in my whole life.'

High fives all round: They embraced in a group hug after realising they'd won Celebrity Cyclone

Whilst Charlie added: 'I never expected it to be so difficult. Holding onto the star was virtually impossible.'

Clearly thrilled they won the all the stars, Eric said: 'Brilliant four stars, we need something to eat we’re hungry.'

Proud of their performance in the Trial David commented: 'Everyone promised themselves that they were going to give 100 per cent and that’s exactly what happened. All of us go back with four stars we should be eating well hopefully. I’m buzzing.'

After they won four stars in the Trial the celebrities received, Crocodile Tail Fillets, Crystal Apple Cucumbers, Silverbeet, Capsicum Annuum, Bell Peppers and Thai Mangoes for dessert.

Eric Bristow misses out on the I'm A Celebrity final as he's voted out of the jungle

That's one prediction he didn't want to get right: Eric Bristow misses out on the I'm A Celebrity final as he's voted out of the jungle

He managed to guess correctly who would be voted out of the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! jungle each day.

But Eric Bristow was left eating his own words when he correctly predicted he would be the next for the chop on Thursday night's show.

The legendary darts player has now been evicted from the programme, meaning he just misses out on the final.

And the sports man was happy to admit he was gutted to have got so close to the final day.

The controversial star became the latest casualty by being evicted from the show on Thursday night.

Eric was placed in the bottom two alongside EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks when Ant and Dec came to tell them their fates.

But he was inevitably told it would be him who would be walking across the bridge a day before the king or queen is announced.

Grand exit: The darts legend grinned widely as he was reunited with his son after walking the bridge to freedom

Walk of pride: Eric admitted he would have liked to have been in the final but didn't seem too disheartened

Bristow told Ant and Dec after he'd said his goodbyes to Charlie Brooks, David Haye and Ashley Roberts: 'It's great I'm out... but I would have liked to make the last three.'

But he then reflected on it and added: 'I think it's right the three young'uns are there, it's worked out well.'

And it was certainly a busy last day for Eric in the camp.

He was partnered up with Pussycat Doll Ashley after they were selected for the Dingo Dollar Challenge which saw the pair messing about in a huge pile of straw that hid keys and a few little chocolates scattered around.

The keys would open boxes that contained chocolates and dollars and they had to make $100 in order to shop at the Outback Shack.

Who's it going to be? He was placed in the bottom two alongside EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks

Saying his goodbyes: Every day thi week Eric has correctly predicted who would be next to be evicted off the show, and had said he thought he would be next

A cheeky Ashley said: 'I don’t go jumping in haystacks that often so this is going to be ‘popping my cherry’ in that department but I’m super stoked to see how it goes.'

They worked either side of the huge straw bales and found the keys - Ashley opened the boxes finding a few dollars at a time and then some chocolate treats which Eric let her eat .

Eric started singing the Wurzels hit ‘Combine Harvester’ which Ashley said she didn’t recognise as it was before her time.

Still smiling: He happily walked towards Ant and Dec ready for his evictee interview

Opening up: Bristow chatted about his controversial time in the jungle with Ant and Dec on Thursday night's show

Then there were three: It means David Haye, Charlie Brooks and Ashley Roberts are 2012's finalists

After the challenge Eric said: 'I spent the afternoon in the hay bales with good looking Ashley.'

She cheekily added afterwards: 'Eric and I did roll in that hay and we got dirty and messy.'

Having won the Dingo Dollar Challenge, Eric and Ashley headed to the Outback Shack, where the treats that were on offer were baked beans and corned beef.

When Ashley said she didn’t know what corned beef was, Eric’s explanation seemed to confuse her more and she said: 'I’m nervous about meat coming in a can.'

Standing proud: He admitted several days ago that he he had places a £20,00 bet on himself getting to the final six

But Eric said: 'We have enough beans. The others will be happy with this,' and opted for the corned beef.

Eric later added: 'She didn’t know what corned beef was, an American girl and fitness fanatic, she doesn't eat all this rubbish that we eat.'

Back in camp, David answered the phone and read the question to Charlie which was,‘once out of the jungle which of these did Helen have first, a spray tan or a blow dry?’

Getting involved: He'd had a busy last day in the jungle as he announced to his camp mates they all had to take part in a joint challenge together

Take that: They were all taking part in 'Cyclone' which saw them collecting stars against pouring water

Doing his bit: Eric managed to grab hold of several stars before making his big departure from the jungle on Thursday

Bemused, David said: 'She would have had a spray tan and then came back and done her make up and got her hair done.'

Charlie agreed and they opted for the first answer, a spray tan.

However, when Ashley and Eric unveiled their treat, Charlie clearly disappointed, admitted that she would have preferred the baked beans.

Showing off his skills: Eric was given the opportunity to play his beloved darts as the camp mates set about winning treats on the dart board

Special treat: They even won four minutes worth of phone calls for one camp mate after successfully striking the board with their darts

Overjoyed: Charlie was ecstatic when they let her speak to her daughter Kiki, a day after the disappointment of narrowly missing getting to see her in the flesh in the jungle

Later Charlie said: 'Baked beans in the tomato based sauce and all that salt and sugar would have out-weighed a can of meat that smells and looked like dog’s food.'

Charlie asked Eric if he eats corned beef and the darts ace replied: 'I’ve got a couple of tins in the cupboard that have been in there for years. It’s alright for a snack.'

Still perplexed by the notion of corned beef Ashley asked her camp mates: 'Why is it ok to be served like that, how can it just sit on a shelf forever in a can?'

As David and Eric munched on their lunch time snack, Ashley and Charlie clearly didn't enjoy the meal.

After just a few mouthfuls Ashley decided she couldn't eat it and headed off for a shower.

The dancer later said: 'Corned beef is disgusting! I don’t even know what is in there, what it's made of? It can’t be meat. It's salty, it's chewy, it smells like dog food. I don’t even know if I could serve my dog that.'

I'm a Celebrity's Ashley and Charlie take advantage of the tropical rain by having a bath in the jungle pool

Things are getting stormy: The girls take advantage of the tropical rain by having a bath in the jungle pool... but Eric Bristow STILL complains it's ruined his day

PUBLISHED: 02:28, 29 November 2012 | UPDATED: 08:48, 29 November 2012

It's been part of the highlights on this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! seeing the ladies taking a dip in the jungle pool.

And while most fans and camp mates alike have been more than happy to see the likes of evicted star Helen Flanagan and Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts bathe in their swimwear, it's not doing anything to help Eric Bristow's mood.

The former darts player's mood dropped even lower on Wednesday when a tropical storm hit the camp.

Caught in a storm: Ashley Roberts ignored the tropical rain to bathe herself in the I'm A Celebrity jungle pool

Although it just added excitement for the girls, who used the opportunity to frolic around in the rain.

More...

Dancer Ashley Roberts wasted no time in climbing into the pool in just her black string bikini ready to wash herself and give herself a big soak.

She could be seen rinsing her hair and displaying her enviable physique for all to see.

More water: The girls seemed to enjoy the rain as they took a dip in the downpour, unlike the complaining boys

You'll never dry off: The former Pussycat Doll showed off her slender physique in a string black bikini on Wednesday

Joining her: Charlie Brooks also braved it to take a dip, but didn't seem to be enjoying it quite as much

And it wasn't long before her only girl pal left in camp, Charlie Brooks, joined the performer by her side.

Although she went for the sensible option of wearing an all-in-one swimsuit rather than a tiny bikini.

The girls could be seen giggling as the rain drops came down harder.

But it did nothing but cause more moans for Eric as he complained over the state of the camp thanks to the bad weather.

He moaned: 'It’s wet my spare logs.... That's messed the day up.'

As you do: The two remaining female camp mates bonded in the water as they insisted on still bathing

And boxer David Haye also concentrated on the bad things as opposed to enjoying it like the girls seemed to be.

David added; 'It’ll bring out the mosquitoes. Big spiders. Frogs all over the place.'

And he was clearly in a pondering mood as talk soon turned to the next impending eviction.

Girlie giggles: They seemed to be having dun as they first stepped in the water with large rain drops falling on their heads

Girlie giggles: They seemed to be having fun as they first stepped in the water with large rain drops falling on their heads

Aren't you cold? They paddled through the cold water as the weather got even more stormy

Ignoring it: Ashley continued to wash her hair despite getting drenched

Conversation once again turned to the vote off with Charlie and Eric speculating who they thought would be next to leave the jungle.

Eric went through each person, but admitted that it was anyone’s game.

'It's me and you baby,' said Charlie to Eric as they found themselves alone by the campfire... 'Tomorrow’s going to be the toughest one yet.'

Bonding: Charlie and Ashley have spent increasing amounts of time together since Helene Flanagan left the jungle on Tuesday

Back on land: Ashley tried to dry off, while Eric and David complained about the storm 'ruining their day'

That's better: David complained it would bring more frogs out but Charlie seemed more relaxed

'I’m quite pleased the last two that went,' said Eric. 'That was quite good for me. Helen and Rosemary. They both done my head in.'

Charlie added: 'They didn’t do my head in but they do start to grate a little.'

Eric predicted that he thought there would be a surprise vote off next: 'There’ll be a big twist tomorrow.'

That won't cheer him up: Eric Bristow moans about the weather ruining his day and getting his spare logs wet instead of getting into it like the girls

Critical: David also complained that more frogs would now come out thanks to the tropical storm hitting them

And Charlie seemed to be along the right lines as she correctly guessed: 'Maybe Hugo.'

'Or David,' said Eric. 'I don’t think it’ll be David. I think he’ll win.'

Eric continued: 'On the cards, he’s favourite. But there’s not millions of boxing fans. It’s not a big sport really, boxing.'

Charlie said: 'I don’t think he’ll go anywhere. Either me or Hugo.'

Having his own shower: Boxer David Haye skipped on swimming in the pool with the rain but did stand under the waterfall instead

'Or me. I’m up for it and all. I’m plodding along. I could have gone out at eight. I’m in the last five now.'

Moving onto Ashley, Eric said: 'You see, she might go because it’s a British show but you see how many followers the Pussycats have or whatever.

'Not all the audience are youngsters are they. All the middle aged ones won’t even know who she is. She could fly out tomorrow.'

But he added: 'It’s anybody’s. Seriously, it’s anybody’s.'
